I have always loved horses since I was a little girl and was finally able to buy my first horse, Jiminy Cricket on a payment plan when I was 17. I went through all the phases through the years, barrel racing, western pleasure and finally just trail riding for relaxation. One day I ran across an emaciated horse in Molino, FL. and after reporting to the proper authorities and even involving the media, nothing was done and he was taken across the state line to probably die. While fighting that battle, I was advised to start a horse rescue and so my friend, Linda Lambert and I took the steps to form a non-profit organization which today is well known as Panhandle Equine Rescue. We’ve had lots of adventures along the way; some rewarding and some very sad. I have met a lot of people, most of them good, some, well, not so good. But looking back, it has been worth it to help so many horses and I hope that I will be able to continue this mission for many more years.
